Hurricane Season USA

never seen one here,,,,,

LOL! Not likely! But I'll bet you have seen blizzards with winds of Americans strength.

Um, -40 F is mighty darn cold to me!!! My idea of cold is anything below 65F I do agree that with the low humidity one does not feel the heat or the cold nearly as much. I agree; at that altitude the sun will quickly take its toll on you. That altitude is worse than the Florida sun.

Here is the next one to watch. It is moving very slow (4-8Knots) but conditions may limit development. Forecast models show maybe 50mph winds before landfall. Coming right at me AGAIN.

Should be at the mouth of the Mississippi River sometime Thursday afternoon with 45mph winds.

I used to live in Kansas City, MO and I've seen -60 wind chill temps in January and one of the reasons I retired to Florida. What is funny, many of the snowbirds don't want to be in Florida in the summer because of the heat and humidity. I was back in KC a couple of years ago and it never got below 102 degrees (F) during the day, the entire time I was there and it was high humidity (typical for middle of July to middle of August in KC). We don't get that hot here in Florida.

I used to work on the Ascension Island missle/Apollo tracking station. Ascension Island is tropical, not sub tropical like Florida, and high humidity and I didn't really mind it there.

I spent some time in Central America and didn't mind it there at all.

We are getting intermittent "bands" of rain out it right now. Nothing to write home about, but it is causing some rain. We got a short downpour a couple of minutes ago and then stopped and now raining again as I write this.

I rode to Jacksonville and hit those showers up and back. I didn't even put on my rain gear.

This system is not well formed so winds are not a problem but will bring rain to the Southeast.

That stupid thing won't give up.

An area of low pressure, the remnant of tropical depression five, is located over southeastern Alabama. This system is forecast to move southward toward the northern gulf coast today and could emerge over the gulf waters by Monday where conditions are expected to be conducive for some development. There is a low chance, 20 percent, of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.

It has cooled us off over here. It barely getting to 90 during the day.
